The BMW iX SUV impresses with 659 HP 701 km and an attractive starting price of 71600 £ . Here are all the details at a glance.
BMW iX cuts an unmistakable silhouette with a tall, muscular stance and a front that still divides opinion — the 'big grille' becomes a sculpted surface rather than a throat to feed. At 4,965 mm long and 1,970 mm wide it reads like a road-going flagship rather than a compact SUV, making it highly visible in traffic and easy to pick out in a car park. The presence is deliberate: this is an executive EV that aims to impress before it even moves.
The cabin combines high-quality materials with a minimalist layout, using sustainable leathers and textiles alongside soft-touch surfaces and real wood accents to keep things premium without feeling sterile. A sweeping curved display places major functions within reach while physical controls are kept to a minimum, which helps the interior look tidy and modern. Sold as a five-seater, the iX matches the finish and fit expected of a flagship BMW while keeping controls relatively intuitive for daily use.
Passenger space is generous up front and the rear offers good legroom thanks to the flat battery floor, so long journeys are comfortable for two adults and a middle passenger when needed. The boot holds 500 litres with the rear seats up and expands to a maximum of 1,750 litres when folded, so everyday shopping and weekend luggage are well covered. The iX is heavy — curb weight ranges roughly from 2,525 to 2,655 kg — which makes for a planted feel but also limits payload to the order of 505–575 kg, an important detail for frequent heavy loads.
Power outputs span from around 408 hp up to 659 hp with torque figures as high as about 1,015 Nm, and 0–100 km/h times fall between roughly 5.1 and 3.8 seconds depending on the version, so there is genuine pace when required. All-wheel drive and adaptive air suspension let the iX settle into a composed, comfortable ride on long motorway miles while still keeping body control through corners, though the substantial mass blunts ultimate agility compared with lighter rivals. Steering is precise but tuned toward stability rather than razor-sharp feedback, reinforcing the iX’s role as a long-distance cruiser rather than a small-car sports machine.
The iX is offered with battery packs in the high 90–109 kWh range and WLTP figures suggest ranges around 600–700 km, while quoted consumption sits between roughly 17.8 and 20.6 kWh/100 km depending on specification and driving style. In everyday use those WLTP numbers translate to very good distance per charge in mixed driving, but motorway speeds and heavy loads will push consumption above the most optimistic figures and shorten charging intervals. Fast-charging capability means practical long-distance travel is straightforward with short stops recovering meaningful range, although frequent spirited driving will make the energy bill climb. Understanding those trade-offs helps set realistic expectations for how often the iX needs to be plugged in on typical trips.
The iX carries a large curved BMW display running the latest iDrive software, blending navigation, media and vehicle settings into a single surface that responds quickly and supports over-the-air updates to keep features current. A comprehensive driver-assistance suite covers adaptive cruise, lane-keeping and parking tasks and can shoulder much of routine driving, though it remains a system that requires driver attention. Premium audio options and smart connectivity round out an infotainment architecture designed to feel modern and capable without being intrusive.
The iX suits buyers seeking a luxury, tech-forward electric SUV with long range and strong performance, particularly those who prioritise refinement, cabin quality and motorway comfort over raw agility. It is aimed at executive buyers and families who want a statement vehicle with substantial range—current versions span the spectrum from about 408 hp up to 659 hp with WLTP ranges of roughly 600–700 km, offering choices for efficiency or outright performance. For anyone needing the cheapest or most manoeuvrable EV on the market, there are better alternatives, but for a premium, comfortable long-distance electric SUV the iX is a compelling, if premium-priced, proposition.
